For data licensed from a third-party data publisher, we will work with the publisher to 1) properly load the data into the Data-Planet repository, 2) update and maintain the data, and 3) report usage of the data.

For researcher-provided data, the Data-Planet team will work with your staff to load the data into the Data-Planet platform, create descriptive metadata, and control access.
